Little older post but very well stated...it SPEAKS. Same with my Whites IDXPro. The "quality" of the monotone is what the ear needs to decipher,pretty different than a multi tone machine. And it takes TIME to understand.

In my detecting arsenal i currently have 4 Tesoro/Laser based machine 2 old but closet queen brown boxes jobs,Compadre still like new and why i fell for all that hype as all i have used it for is a pinpointer with the 4'' coil on,then the last machine and the only one that i occasionally use is the UK version of the Vaquero which runs and 18.5khz,fixed/manual GB and the 11x8 coil which i have never used but i do like using this machine with the NEL Snake on trashy roman sites.But apart from this one machine which is only say once a month used.All the others just gather dust.

My personal verdict is i 'will' probably never fall for the Tesoro hype again,and just keep the ones that i have in my detecting arsenal but mothballed,its a shame really but no one here in the UK buys these machines,they may serve the US market needs of tot lots and those type of environments but for the UK market you just cannot compete with the likes of the Deus,even Garrett machines are extremely popular,but in the last few years even Whites of which i was a very big fan have just floundered.

Nokta/Makro who have only been in the detecting arena for such a short time duration listen and produce what us the detecting public want and not something that was/is designed by Noah in the Ark,hope they come out with something decent but after that fiasco of asking us for a detector name and all the build up hype and then never producing it,well scenarios like that can/do damage the companies reputation,you cannot live off the companies laurels from say 20-30 years ago and no one too replace the founder who 'did' design some classics after he passed away.

I agree. With Tesoro completely dropping out of social media. It is evident that they cannot take any criticism. In a FB group I'm in, earlier this year, they did a poll of what machines we used out of the top brands. Just under 700 people replied and only 6, including myself, use a Tesoro. Dead last by far. So, the numbers don't lie as to how unpopular their machines are in this day and age. Of course there are those who believe everything Tesoro does is pure genius. However, with actual numbers like that, it's not the case at all. Tesoro's former glory is well over.]]>jld66Beep & Dig Detecting ForumSat, 23 Sep 2017 08:36:31 -0500https://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,2380820,2394451#msg-2394451Re: Is that it for this year??https://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,2380820,2394451#msg-2394451

QuoteI sort of doubt Tesoro will ever try to compete with a "modern" detector the likes of a CTX, Deus or Impact

I agree. They will never be in that league. Even adding 2 tones seems to be out of the question. I think people need to stop expecting too much, and appreciate them for what they are. When it comes to beep and dig, Tesoro is tough to beat. There are only a few companies that even try to compete with them (Cscope, and DeepTech come to mind).]]>dan bBeep & Dig Detecting ForumMon, 17 Jul 2017 11:26:54 -0500https://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,2380820,2380948#msg-2380948Re: Is that it for this year??https://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,2380820,2380948#msg-2380948

Fraid so. I did what all the staunch users suggested and got another brand.

I think it's more telling that the other manufacturers don't try to compete with them!
The machines work extremely well and I never feel like I'm outgunned
or leaving anything behind when I hunt with friends with other brands.
All comes down to what you think you need to get the job done.

In mid 2010 I got a new Vaq, by August 2011 I had a cast-off Compadre from Skiwhiz.
The Vaq was my main until I got an F2 and found out I have a great affinity for Fishers and that screen so the Tesoros got relegated to second string but I still used them when I needed a change.
I was curious about other models but I never really wanted or thought I needed another Tesoro however recently I traded the Vaq for a Mojave hoping it would work better than the Compadre in my dirt.
Turns out my wish came true, this new one not only works better than the Compadre but all indications seem to tell me it is working just as well if not a bit better than the Vaq here too.
Within an hour I knew I would be thrilled with this new one...might not be pulling the Compadre out much more anymore either.

Their current lineup is fine for me and I see hours of fun ahead for us but when I want a whiz bang unit with all minds of extra features I have my F70.]]>REVIERBeep & Dig Detecting ForumSun, 16 Jul 2017 13:54:51 -0500https://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,2380820,2380827#msg-2380827Re: Is that it for this year??https://www.findmall.com/read.php?17,2380820,2380827#msg-2380827
